Review on Baxton Studio Arielle Modern Wood Shoe Storage Bench with 3 Drawers, Padded Leatherette Seating and 2 Open Shelves in Dark Brown by Misty Mcclellan

The bench is beautiful and looks very modern and functional for my entryway. Took me about 2.5 hours to build and I also inventoried everything before building to make sure nothing was missing. The instructions aren't the best, but I find them a bit more informative than most IKEA instructions. The photos are accompanied by several lines of instructions. The quality is what you would expect from cheap furniture as it is chipboard. There were some cosmetic imperfections as shown in my photo but they are not too noticeable. I assume it has to do with the shipping. My only concern is that the four legs are plastic and hollow. This is already a hefty piece of furniture, weighing 45-50 pounds on its own. It would upset me if someone over 200lbs plopped on him. Otherwise I am very satisfied and have received nice compliments. I paid $91 for this and wouldn't pay more given the materials and plastic feet.
